0:00.0	The Athletic. It feels to me like the biggest Caribbean Cup,
0:18.0	biggest League Cup final we've had for a long time.
0:21.0	What I really like about this title race, you know as good as Man City and Liverpool
0:25.0	have been in recent years, you've just known that they're both going to win every single
0:28.9	week a little bit and it's been a little, it's been predictable.

1:44.7	which is a Sunday 4.30 kickoff. Huge, huge cup final. You do feel like this is going to be a lightning
